I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Don't Know What My Piano Pedals Do
After 35 years away from the piano, I'm rediscovering music one lesson at a time. In this video, I explore how an upright piano works by looking inside my 45-year-old 1981 Kimball console piano. I was surprised to realize I didn't really understand how my own piano worked! This series isn't about being an expert—it's about rediscovering music, learning something new, and sharing the journey. Whether you're returning to the piano after years away, just starting out, or you're simply curious about how a piano works, I hope you'll enjoy learning alongside me. Together, we'll discover what the three piano pedals do and how the action, hammers, strings, soundboard, and cast-iron plate all work together to create music.
